Guess what I got tonight??
An emperor scorpion.

I have wanted an emperor for the last 6-7 years now.I have researched and loved scorpions for years.Even have a scorpion tattoo.I had all the things I needed for my scorpion,but never ever got it...till tonight.The several years I have waited to get one is worth it.
I am sad though,as it's (not sure whether it is male/female yet) tail was cut off...the stinger part.It is a shame.Emperors are not that dangerous (unless you are allergic to the venom) and they rarely use their stinger anyway,they usually use their pincers instead.So it is sad that the stinger was chopped off.Apparently they ALL have to be chopped before coming to Newfoundland.
Anyway all in all,I am happy with my scorpion.
